Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 316

Mark's expression brightened. "Does that mean I don't have to follow Frankie anymore?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Why are you so happy?"

Mark sighed and replied, "I put up with it before, but now I've seen his true colors. Every time he forces me to do things I don't want to, or hurt people I don't want to hurt, it tears me apart inside. I just want to be free."

I smiled. "Alright, then. Starting today, you don't have to follow him anymore. Congratulations, you're free."

"Thank you, Mr. White!" Mark said gratefully.

"Go stand behind me," I instructed.

Mark nodded, then turned and stepped to stand behind me. Everyone was stunned as they overheard our conversation and saw Mark choose my side.

"What's going on? Mark isn't just not attacking this kid, but he's even calling him ‘Mr. White' and says he respects him?" one person asked in disbelief.

"I don't get it. Isn't Mark supposed to listen to Mr. Russo? Isn't he Mr. Russo's dog? Why does he seem to respect this kid more?" someone else asked.

"Did you hear that? This kid said it was his idea for Mark to stay with Mr. Russo. It sounds like he's protecting someone…" another person whispered.

At that moment, Liana suddenly stood up, squinting her eyes at Frankie. She looked at him with disdain. "Frankie, didn't you say you trained him like a dog?" she asked with a smirk. "Is this the result of your training? Looks like you're not as impressive as you thought."

Frankie, who was already on the edge of losing his temper, practically exploded after hearing those words. His face turned red with rage.

He clenched his fists and stormed toward Mark. "Mark, how dare you disobey me? How dare you stand behind that damn little punk? Do you have a death wish?"
